    It's fine. Copper is a part of NSW, it's in your salt mix (as a trace element), it's in many foods (as you've found out), it's in many supplements, etc. It's no where near the levels of being dangerous to your tank.

    Yes indeed. Here's Cuddles (although it could be Fluffy) eating some frozen Formula One.
